Food for thought, eh! Anyhow, it’s a production to chalk up (by the way, the last showing this season - get in quick for next year, it’s not to be missed!) and one that received and ignited a thunderous curtain call from a packed and enthusiastic house that went on and on reaching to an exciting climax when chorus-master, Eberhard Friedrich, took his bow with members of his extended chorus, the audience exploded into a […]
